You're not delegating to AI. You're babysitting it and calling it strategy. Here's the test that proves it: Can your AI workflow run completely unsupervised overnight and deliver something you can act on by morning? If not, you just built a middleman. Real delegation requires three things most people skip:
• Clear success criteria BEFORE you walk away
• Decision trees for edge cases so it doesn't stall waiting on you
• Output formatting that needs zero cleanup
Stop supervising task completion. Start auditing for actual leverage. Which of your current AI workflows would survive the overnight test? Be honest in the comments.
